From the Teatro Regio di Torino (February 18, 2003) ANDREA CHÉNIER Opera in 4 acts by Luigi Illica Music by Umberto Giordano Andrea Cheniér: FABIO ARMILIATO Maddalena de Coigny: DANIELA DESSÌ Carlo Gerard: JUAN PONS Orchestra and Chorus of the Teatro Regio di Torino Conductor: PAOLO OLMI Stage and costume direction: IVAN STEFANUTTI __________________________ "ANDREA CHENIER CONQUERS THE REGIO Never have you heard so much applause at a premiere!" (W. Baldasso: TORINO CHRONICLE) "¡BIENVENIDO MISTER CHENIÉR! The artistic pareja, formed by the soprano Daniela Dessí (Magdalene of Coigny) and the tenor Fabio Armiliato (Chénier) holds a compenetración perfecta que delata algo ma que unos y ensayos riguros bien aprovechados. " (Horacio Castiglione: MUNDOCLASSICO) " THE OPERA BY GIORDANO WAS ON STAGE WITH GREAT SUCCESS YESTERDAY AT THE REGIO. APPLAUSE FOR ARMILIATO AND LA DESSÌ The performance was studded with ovations for Fabio Armiliato, the protagonist of great elegance, with a style that is somewhat reminiscent of Domingo's for the control and cleanliness of the phrasing. He has a beautiful voice, with a naturally expressive and moving timbre. Perhaps some more passionate impetus would benefit him: but I understand his concern not to fall into emphasis. Same class and same control in the singing of Daniela Dessì, excellent Maddalena, who tries to give her character the depth that she does not possess, letting her voice flow in beautiful and sweetly linked notes and lending the protagonist a noble figure.
